  • Title: Psoas abscess following intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin for bladder cancer: a case report.
    Author: Hakim S, Heaney JA, Heinz T, Zwolak RW.
    Journal: J Urol; 1993 Jul; 150(1):188-9. PubMed ID: 8510250.
    Abstract:
    An 87-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm received intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. He presented 9 months later with a psoas abscess that mimicked a contained retroperitoneal abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. The abscess cultures yielded Mycobacterium bovis. Recent transurethral resection and high voiding pressures after instillations of bacillus Calmette-Guerin may have led to distant dissemination of the drug.
